National Council for Behavioral Health Conference

Tuesday, May 6, 2014

Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared at the National Council for Behavioral Health Conference in Maryland. While most of Clinton’s speeches up to this point have largely focused on women’s rights and foreign policy, she spoke about a number of domestic policy issues. Clinton spoke about the media’s role in the unpopularity of the Affordable Care Act, but again she expressed her openness to future changes. She also spoke at length about gun control. She stressed that she fully supports gun ownership, but that the current system makes it too easy for guns to get into the hands of those who misuse them. She said, “We have to rein in what has become [an] almost article of faith, that anybody can own a gun anywhere, anytime. And I don’t believe that.”
